EEADINGFSLIDE FOR. roneme iyracnmns.

a citizen of, the United States, residing at Tifiin, in the county ofSeneca and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Heading-Slidefor Forging-Machines, of which the following is a specification. 1

- This invention relates to bolt heading and forging machines and hasfor an object the reduction in the size of machines of this characterwithout shortening the heading slide, so that the advantages of a longslide .remain present and the efliciency of the machine is'not reduced.v Another object is to provide a head ng slide which bridges'theoperating shaft and its connections therewith, thereby enabling theslide to be supported beyond both sides of the shaft.

' vWith the foregoing and other objects in iview which will appear asthe description proceeds, the'finvention consists of certainnoveldetails of construction and combin-a-' tions of parts which will behereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claims, it beingunderstood that various changes may be made in the construction;

and arrangementof the parts without de-- parting from the spirit orsacrificing any of the advantages of the invention as set' forth in theappended claims.

Inthe accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention has beenshown.

In said drawings Figure lis a plan view'of aportion of a bolt headingand forgingmachine having the improved heading slide thereon.

Fig. 2 isa vertical .section through the slide and adjacent parts.Referring to the figures by characters of reference, 1 designates theframe of the machine provided with the usual channel or guideway 2 forthe heading slide, there be ing dies 3 at one end of the channel, a dieslide 4, and means for operating the die slide, all of which constitutesno part of the present invention.

The operating shaft 5 extends across the channel 2 and has an eccentric6 or the like for operating an arm 7. The heading slide Specification ofLetters Patent. 'Patented Mar, 11, 1919, Application filed October 14,1918. Serial No. 257,964.-

7 is connected to the slide at the front por-.

tion of the arch andas indicated at 10 and the arch is so proportionedas to-allow the arm and its connections to work freely below the archwith the result that, as the shaft 5 rotates, the slide willbereciprocated within the channel 2. Heretofore the shaft has been locatedback of the path of movement of the slideand the pitman or the like hasbeen interposed between the shaft and the slide. This has required theuse of a frame 1 of objectionable length.

With the'present arrangement, however, the

slide can be made longer than ordinarily -and,-at'the same time, thelength of the frame can be reduced. By increasing the length of the'heading slide better alinement of the slide with the'work is obtainedand the articles produced are correspondingly improved. I

WVhat is claimed is ,1. Ina bolt heading and forging machine a headingslide having an intermediate oflset portion, an operating shaftextending transversely of the slide and past the ofiset portion, andmeans housed by said offset portion for transmitting motion from theshaft to the slide.

-2.-In a bolt heading and'forging machine I the combination with a framehaving a guideway, of a heading slide mounted on the 'guideway, anoperating shaft, said slide WILLIAM L; CLOU'SE.
